, To al -whom a my imam-1 7 Be it known that L'FnANoIs T. MEYER, a

citizen of the United States, residing at -Montclair, county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and luseful'lmprovements Washbasins, fully -.describedand represented in the following .specification and the accompanying" draw- .ings, formlnga part of the same. 1 Th1s1nvent1on relates to an improved con- ;struction of wash basin'fofinedof porcelain, clay or other plastic material, and pro vided with a soap cup or similar cup formed integral with the basin, the special object of the invention being. to provide a simple constnuction by which the slopping of water from the basin into thecup shall be avoided.

' In accordance with the present. invention,

the soap cup brsimilar cup is formed integral wlth the basin, and preferably above the waste pipe so as to drain directly down ward into the latter, and is raised orhas its rim raised above the level of the bowl slab,

so as toprevent flow or slopping of water from the. bowl into the cup. The invention is applied to basins with a back slab, and the cup is preferably formed at the back of the basin and so as to connect the back slab ti) the bowl and form a brace for the back s ab. f In the accompanying drawing, illustrat ing the invention as applied in preferred A'is, the bowl having forms--Figure '1 is a vertical central section.

of;a basin provided with a soap cup formed inthe basin slab between the waste device and the bowl. Fig. '2 is a partial plan view of the same.

with a stopper chain attachment above the level of the bowl. 4 r

' Referring now especially to Figs. 1 and 2, the level top face 10 and rear slab 11, both preferably formed integral with the bowl, shown. Between the rear slab 11 and the bowl proper'is the Waste device consisting in the form shown of an operating rod'having the handle 12, the rod passing downward through the sleeve 13 and-being connected below to lever 14 operating the rod 15 entering the cam Fig. 3 is a detail section showing the soap cupat the base of the back slab notch 16 in the stem of the waste plug 17, so as to lift the waste plug by the rotation of the handle 12. This waste operating device. howeveiyn'iay be of any other suitable form.

The basin A has the waste passage 18 connecting with the basin overflow 19, and above this passage 18 is formed in the material of the basin the soap cup a, which is shown as having a separatebottoin 2 seated on shoulders in the cup, this construction facilitating the glazing ofthe parts. The cup c is raised above the top level of the basin A, andt'he front wall preferably extends oiitward over the basin, as'shown at 1 in Figs. 1 and 2, which materially aids in.

preventing slopping of'the water into the cap a. The raised portion forming the cup preferably extends back to the slab, as

shown, so as to form a bracefor the latter, which makes it possible to omit the side braces usually employed.

While the preferred constrwztion is'that shown in Figs. .1 and 2, with the cup between the waste device and the bowl, the invention is not limited thereto, but includes also other.

constructions in which a soap cup or similar cup is formed integral with the bowl and raised above the level of the bowl. In Fig.

3 there is shown a construction in which the to a cupfor soap, but includes also cups for other articles and placed in other positions on-the basin.

What is claimed is z 1. A wash basin of plastic material having a back slab integral with the bowl, a raised portion on the bowl formed integral with and connecting the bowl and back slab, and a cup formed in the raised portion.

2. A. wash basin of plastic material hav ing a back slab integral with the bowl, a

raised portion on the bowl formed integral my hand, in the presence of two silbscribing Wlth and (zol'lneetmg the bowl and back slab, witnesses,
